Has anyone replaced the sad stock front seats in an '05-up Legacy with something more comfortable?
I'm about 6'-5, and really want to get something more comfortable set-up. I just has some concerns with airbag warning lights if I remove the stock seats.

Thanks.

If you choose a non-airbag seat all you need to do is put a 3.3Ohm Resistor in the airbag connector for the seats.

I am 6'4" and I can tell you now going to any Impreza seats you find will raise you 1-2". So if you have a sunroof expect to have your head banging around the glass.

05' will work since Subaru has not changed there seat mounts in almost 20 years.

That being said the RS seats from an 98-01 feel decent, there cheap, and they don't really raise you up compared to the fancy Impreza seats.

Good luck
